CHAPTER ELEVEN

CINDER

I had underestimated how powerful Lora was.

I had also underestimated how caught up I was in everything with her and Mich. She said she was falling in love, but I was already fucking there.

There wasn’t anything I could do about that.

But, I could try to take the hurt away from her burning eyes.

The elevator rattled, the lights still flickering. Mich let out a soft grunt, trying to fight the cloud of inky black that had him pinned to the wall.

“My sister is an omega witch,” I said. “And a few years ago, the company that controls everything here tried to take her. So to keep that from happening, I agreed to work for them. And I have,” I whispered, tears blurring my vision. “I have. I’ve done bad things. And I’m sorry. I was sent here after Alice died, and I didn’t expect to meet the two of you. Hell, it hasn’t even been forty-eight hours, and I’ve felt more than I ever have for anyone. And I’m fighting it because I’m scared that if I mess up, Ember will die.”

Lora stared at me for a moment, and I felt the grip of her darkness slowly loosen. Between the flicker of the lights was her darkness and the glow of my purple magic illuminating the three of us.

Mich growled, and Lora let him go, her gaze never leaving mine. My eyes darted to him, making sure he was okay.

“Lora,” Mich said, bending over for a moment to catch his breath. “Lora, you’re going to end up hurting them. I know you’re mad but it’s going to be okay. We’re going to talk through everything. Cinder is being honest.”

Lora finally let me go. I fell forward, but she caught me, surprising me by wrapping her arms around my neck.

That broke me.

My knees buckled, and I hit the ground in front of her, all of the weight and worry from the last few years pulling me down. She held on to me, though, holding me to her.

Even though I had hurt her.

Even though I had hurt Mich.

“Get us out of here,” Lora whispered. “You’re a witch. Just take us to my apartment.”

My magic wasn’t the best with portals, but I still nodded. I reached out, and Mich took my hand, and then I closed my eyes— drawing a path with my mind.

I whispered a spell and felt my magic open up, swallowing the three of us and then dumping us straight into her apartment.

I opened my eyes, leaning back and looking around.

Lora sat back and sighed. Mich gave the two of us a gentle look, his honey-colored eyes a little sad.

“We’ll worry about work later,” Mich said. “I’m sure Inferna will keep quiet.”

Lora nodded. “She’s good.”

The silence settled between us, and I felt my anxiety grow. I’d just let out my biggest secret, and it was scary to think that I didn’t have to handle it alone.

“I’m going to go take a bath,” Lora whispered. “And then the three of us can talk about…everything.
